julius-caesar.jpgThe Hollow MenJulius CaesarAct IV, Scene 2, lines 22-27

Brutus says to Lucillis

"There are no tricks in plain and simple faith;
But hollow men, like horses hot at hand,
Make gallant show and promise of their mettle;
But when they should endure the bloody spur,
They fall their crests, and, like deceitful jades,
Sink in the trial.'
